Re: Video: How to remove shallow RIDS and how to machine apply both a paint sealant and a finishing wax
Hi Mike, thank you for the great info. I have a question:
I used a Flex DA polisher with a Smart pad (orange) using Pinnacle Swirl Remover then followed with Pinnacle wax applied by hand.
The reason I did not follow the swirl remover with the finishing polish is because my friend did not have enough time and said it looked good enough.
Is there anything wrong with what I did and why?
Also, is there a universal color code for buffing pads? Or does each company have their own system? Meaning, are orange pads always designed for a specific use within each company and so on and so forth?
Thank you!
Mitchell

Nope, nothing wrong. The Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover finishes out so nicely that you can easily go to wax. Some people like to squeeze every drop of clarity, gloss and shine out of their paint and will do the second step but it's really personal preference and if the paint looks good after the swirl remover then seal it and enjoy the results.!

No universal code and what I see right now is even more types of pads being introduced with more colors, the ONLY way a person will ever be able to stay caught up with the changes is to be a member of an awesome detailing forum like AGO.
I answer this question in my book too...

I just re-watched this video this morning and if you're new to machine polishing with ANY type of polisher there is a ton of tips and techniques for all the different things a person has to do when buffing out a car besides removing the random, isolated deeper scratches or RIDS.
If you haven't already, check it out and please post your comments, questions or feedback.

Great video. Thank you for making these longer segments, that cover a few topics and reiterate some fundamentals. During our northern winter months its handy and entertaining to watch these, not to mention educational.
And kudos to the music over the machine polishing, and in the background. Nice touch, good production quality over earlier ones.
One of the main reasons I shop at AG are these videos and the forum with participation from AG staff.
Good job all around. Thanks!

Seriously... thank you for the feedback.
I know the title of this video talks about how to remove RIDS or Random, Isolated, Deeper Scratches but there's SO much more covered....
